New Members Sunday by j.r. christopherson

O Lord, your servant, Paul would remind us this day ... that as your church ... we are your ongoing body in the world—a body that has “a variety of gifts but the same Spirit.”

We thank you for the many gifts and talents that the new members bring to your body here, this day, strengthening our family of First. Grant us mouths to speak words of affirmation and encouragement. Grant us ears to listen, care-fully. Grant us arms to hug those who grieve and reach for high-fives with those who rejoice. Grant us humble spirits that cherish our shared gifts of discipleship together. And grant us feet that say “Yes” to your ongoing mission—to be a “Welcoming Home” not only in the “Heart of Sioux Falls” on 12th and Dakota but throughout your vast kingdom come. Yes, bless us, that we in turn might be a blessing for others—in Jesus’ name. First Lutheran Church is a member congregation of the Evangelical Welcome to worship Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
